>From the Media Manager Sys Admin guide:-

Frozen: The volume is unavailable for future backups. A frozen volume
never expires, even after the retention period ends for all backups on
the media. This means that the media ID is never deleted from the
NetBackup media catalog and remains assigned to NetBackup. (The bpmedia
command can also be used to manually freeze or unfreeze volumes.)

A frozen volume is available for restores. If the backups have expired,
the backups first require importing.



Suspended: The volume cannot be used for further backups until retention
periods for all backups on it have expired. At that time, the suspended
volume is deleted from the NetBackup media catalog and unassigned from
NetBackup. (The bpmedia command can also be used to manually suspend or
unsuspend volumes.)

A suspended volume is available for restores. If the backups have
expired, the backups first require importing.



So it looks like the main difference is that a frozen tape never
expires.

Richard
